Ahhh MediaOne ... I wish. No I have a simple ppp dialup account, so every time I connect I end up refreshing alot of things (ipchains, and named to mention a few). > Note that in your shutdown log that > > Feb 10 10:58:17 firewall kernel: svc: server socket destroy delayed > > was never followed by a socket destroy completion message. > This indicates that the port being watched by the nfsd was never > properly closed and returned to the available pool.

Yes, I thought that looked rather suspicious, but I wasn't sure how to interpret it ... you can't really be sure that is from nfsd can you? and besides netstat didn't show the nfs port as being used... It's possible I had one of my client machines still mounting the nfs server, but I'm not sure. > Next time this happens (if it does), you might want to try just > running exportfs.

In retrospect though, the problem I was having doing nfs mounts on the client was probably due to me mucking around with the domain name and DNS. Thanks for the help -Matt -- Matthew W.
